    Article: Daytime Flights from Asia to Australia

    In October 25 SQ 245 was booked heavily but it came up with an extra flight which was very cheap. SQ265 SIN-BNE 0710 - 1645. SQ 245 is also scheduled.

    La Mer, le Canal & les Pyrénées

    We enjoyed our couple of hours plus lunch in Canfranc. We got there from the Spanish side. Good scenery on the drive up.

    The view from my "office"

    Thats not nice. I have been to both places. The food is better in Laos but Orford is definitely less primitive.

    A bit of humour

    Possibly not. We have seen dog on the menu in China. Back in our early visits from 1981 on it was not uncommon. there were some other things we declined to eat. One dish in Xian had no translation but when we asked were told it was mouse.. Those things are becoming much less common. there is a...

    YouTubers. Youtubers everywhere [Travel Bloggers]

    I find out that stuff on the airline website or AFF. All you have to do is ask a question. Most of the flights i take now are on airlines I have flown before and know the product.

    I have enough entertainment on AFF. As to flight and seat conditions I judge them when I see them. My likes etc are often not shared by others and vice versa.

    What cheeses me off

    I got several episodes in China of WCMO. First was leaving Xian in the early 80s. the airport was chaotic with literaly hunfreds pushing in front of you. I reached my limit. told the family to line up behind me,picked up the heaviest bag and began swinging it in front of me. the crowds parted...

    Virgin Voyages coming to Oz

    Cruises via Africa's West Coast are not particularly attractive as most are no where near full. even prior to the Red Sea crisis the number of cruises that were available was limited. Certainly part of the reason to make no early return to Australia was profit. although a lot of their cruises...

    I haven't watched any of these people apart from a couple posted on AFF. I really don't see the point.

    Article: Why I Send Airlines Compliments for Great Service

    And some airlines go a step further. AA pre covid added your compliments to your profile and that was a positive for the customer. I was told I was given an upgrade over a fellow with higher status due to my giving of compliments. Also I once had a chat with a purser on AA at FRA during a...

    What cheeses me off

    A WA visitor this week was telling the Coles worker her name was Jessica. She had been asked how you spelt it as her CC had first name and surname on it. By coincidence when driving out of the car park I followed her car. A WA plate JEZ1KER. But I never ceased to be amazed at the names people...

    Virgin Voyages coming to Oz

    Which is an entirely sensible reason for any company. besides they would have had the same problems for this coming season. My cruise in May 2025 has only just been cancelled and it is now sailing from Singapore to Athens via Africa empty. great foresight by VV.

    What cheeses me off

    Mine is an old English surname with an o as second letter. More commonly it is spelt with an a which is the Irish version. I have people occasionally telling me I am spelling my name wrong.

    I'm on a watchlist...

    You call those watchlists. I was on a real one back in my radical youth. I was on an ASIO watchlist. My father was a senior public servant going for a promotion and was told his son was a communist and was being watched by ASIO. Now I was a bit radical but the truth was that I once took out the...
